Bronco ordered for year and one half. Lost Hope :(

Howdy folks!

Just bought a 2022 TRD PRO metallic Grey sight unseen. The original wannabe owner had to back out. He ordered it las June. Just happened to be looking at the dealer website the same day they put it up for sale. it's still in Transit.

Been keeping my 2010 F150 with 380k miles together with spit and duct tape. Was going to replace it with a decked out bronco badlands, but just lost hope that I would get it anytime soon with the latest delays. I wonder how many other Bronco fanboys made this call?

Two weeks to go! Can't wait!

 

welcome to the forum. post pics once you get it!!

 

@HIWATER123 I was in the exact same boat as you with a Bronco reservation. I got screwed but Ford's allocation order and gave up hope back in October. I ordered my TRD Pro and it was delivered this week. I would have it my driveway except some stole the catalytic converter off a bunch of vehicles at the dealership. Now its in insurance hell limbo. I think we will both be happier with the tried and true 4Runner in the long run!

 

Bronco reserved Oct ‘20
Bronco ordered Feb ‘21
Bronco order cancelled Nov ‘21
4Runner TRD ORP ordered Nov ‘21
No looking back.

 

I wanted a 2 door Mansquatch, didn’t happen.

 

Welcome from North Carolina. As stated post pictures when you get it.

 

Thanks, and will do!

 

lol, everyone got screwed by the allocation system! That's my biggest beef with the way the whole thing went down. They sold us on the reservation, but it's the allocation that's key! A lot of posts about it over at b6g. I'm within my dealer's allocation this year, but have every constraint in the book so who knows? Plus now the chip constraint. VERY Frustrating! The 2023 Sequoia TRD is the new dream...

Happy Trails!

 

I really love seeing them how capable they are over 4runner. Very capable right from factory. But not interested in buying.

 

post pics...can't wait to see...welcome to the forum

 

Welcome from Wisconsin! You already heard about the pics. Party on HIWATER123!

 

Welcome from Florida

 

This video from the guys at TFL confirmed my decision to cancel my Bronco order. Especially what they say at the end about which one to buy for the long term.

Welcome from Arizona!! Good choice

 

Ahhhh be happy you don't have one of these "new exploding engine" Broncos Hmmm? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB-ZV-7JVeY

 

I saw this today too! Yikes!

 

Wow!!! Well no thank you! I think the OP made a wise choice. The reason I purchased the 4Runner was reliability. Just need a guy this past weekend and he has 400k+ miles on his old Toyota car. Interesting I always hear that about Toyota’s.

 

Geez, it sucks to have your confidence in a brand new car disappear so quickly.

I think you can have all the best off-road equipment, but it doesnt mean anything if it just doesnt go.

Ford has to get ahead of this problem and make sure each of these customers has their pick of loaner car or whatever else they have to do to keep affected customers happy. This whole rollout will hurt Ford badly if they look like they dont care as much as they should.
